Description

Why would the Plishtim seal wells in the Negev, instead of taking the water for themselves? Classic peshat/derush/sod approaches associated with mitnagdim, plus the Chasidic Torah seeing the wells as representing light, ahavah and yirah - and a Zionist approach from S. Y. Agnon in his story מאויב לאוהב.
